Resurrecting Midnight by Eric Jerome Dickey
3.0
The fourth book in the Gideon series and for some reason, it took me about 200 pages (damn near 1/2 the book) to really get into this one. The first three books in this series were great, loved them. But I think because I took so much time between reading the first three and this one, I lost momentum when it came to reading these books in the voice of Gideon and in the voice of his adversary. Not to get too spoilery with it, but Gideon and Arizona are back again (and yes, she is still a messy bitch) with the help of Hawks and others to try and secure a briefcase from a bunch of mercs calling themselves The Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse. There is more to it than that, but you'll have to read the previous books to really get an understanding of the dynamic not only on the Gideon side of things but also on the side of the Horsemen.
What I will say that this read as if I was watching an action movie, I mean really, assassins, car chases, exploding limos, motorcycle gun battles this had it all. All with a South American backdrop. You can tell that EJD really went to these places he describes in his book, the amount of detail can be both great for setting the mood but also it can be very annoying the amount of detail he chooses to give us. But I guess if he didn't, it wouldn't have felt as authentic. I liked this installment, but maybe one day on a reread I'll love more. The last book in the series Finding Gideon will definitely be read before the year is up.
